Lyrics

They cru­ci­fied my Sav­ior,
And nailed Him to the cross;
They cru­ci­fied my Sav­ior,
And nailed Him to the cross;
They cru­ci­fied my Sav­ior,
And nailed Him to the cross;
And the Lord shall bear my spir­it home.

Refrain

He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead;
He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead;
He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead,
And the Lord shall bear my spir­it home.

But Jo­seph begged His body,
And laid it in a tomb;
But Jo­seph begged His body,
And laid it in a tomb;
But Jo­seph begged His bo­dy,
And laid it in a tomb;
And the Lord shall bear my spir­it home.

Refrain

An an­gel came from glo­ry,
And rolled away the stone;
An an­gel came from glo­ry,
And rolled away the stone;
An an­gel came from glo­ry,
And rolled away the stone;
And the Lord shall bear my spir­it home.
